Put your SIM card in another phone for a couple of minutes. Send yourself a text. Or if you have a dual sim phone put it in the other slot. Put it back in your phone or original SIM card slot and reboot.

Since other services are working, I would try these things:

  • reboot your phone
  • do a reset of your phone's network settings
  • uninstall your message's app, then reinstall it
  • ensure your phone is updated with the latest software

 

Have you changed settings or phones lately?

 

If you are android, Disable your Chat Features: 

  1. Open Messages
  2. Tap More options > Settings > Chat features
  3. Turn Enable chat features off

As mentioned above, reboot phone.  Network reset.  

 

Do you have chat feature active?  ie. RCS message for Android, or iMessage for IOS.  Try to turn on or off.

Did texting work before?
